• Where to Fish on Tooeys Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Renfrew County include smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Tooeys Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -12°C in January up to 19°C in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Anyone fishing Tooeys Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. A picnic area is mapped about 280 m away. Facilities run to toilets 330 m from the water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Sheedy Lake at 1.9 km is the nearest alternative. Confirm before you fish Tooeys Lake.
